QUESTION:
A mass attached to the end of a spring is stretched a distance .v0 from equilibrium and released. At wrhat distance from equilibrium will it have acceleration equal to half its maximum acceleration?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The attached mass is released from the equilibrium, then the equation is given by
Here, is the initial distance, is the stretched distance, is the angular frequency and t is the time.
The acceleration of the mass is given by
Here, is the acceleration, is the maximum acceleration, is the angular frequency and t is the time.
If the acceleration is half the maximum acceleration at a distance from the equilibrium,
